It would just take decades to happen. Originally released by Sussex Records in 1970, the singer-songwriter’s debut quickly faded into obscurity and forced the Detroit native to go back to being a manual laborer. Yet, as much great art does, the album’s melodic psychedelic-folk and topically relevant lyrics ultimately found a large audience — and led to one of the most intriguing music stories of the 21st century. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMastered at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s California studio, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, the reissue label’s numbered-edition 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents Cold Fact in definitive sound. It features terrific instrumental separation, tight and controlled bass, and a plethora of tasteful accents that frame Rodriguez’s simple albeit charismatic voice. These and other prized sonic traits credited to Motown Funk Brother Dennis Coffey’s production come into clear focus via wide, well-defined 45RPM grooves, dead-quiet surfaces, and a low noise floor. Every note on the record testifies as to why it transcended its cult status and went on to sell more than a quarter million copies Stateside. As they say, better late than never. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1\/4'' \/ 15 IPS ANALOG COPY \u0026gt; DSD 256 \u0026gt; ANALOG CONSOLE \u0026gt; LATHE \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LP \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLIMITED EDITION OF 4,000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52349593125166,"sku":"MFSL 2-501","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/7961\/9118\/files\/coldfact.avif?v=1784853819","url":"https:\/\/ottsvillerecordgarage.com\/products\/rodriguez-cold-fact-mobile-fidelity","provider":"Ottsville Record Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
